Many rooms look over the blue waters of Lake Michigan and the beautiful Gold Coast neighborhood. Others watch over the bustle and exhilaration of Michigan Avenue. Cutting-edge audio-visual technology and Wi-Fi service keeps information flowing while our relaxed and soothing ambience creates countless opportunities to connect and collaborate.
It’s All in a Name
Event Venues Deserving of Their Names
Our elegant and graceful meeting rooms embody Chicago and the Great Lakes region in spirit, and in name. On the second floor, event venues are named for the Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior, Huron, Ontario, and Erie. Each of them is surpassed in size – but not grandeur – by the Great Lakes Ballroom, host to our most gala events. Third floor spaces share their names with the majestic, green parks of Chicago: Millennium, Grant, Lincoln, and others. Because when it comes to describing the essence of our sophisticated venues, we think a name says it all.
